So I hope the boys will realise that we have got a big opportunity&quot;,&nbsp;<\/span>Jayasuriya, who is now chairman of Sri Lanka&#39;s selectors, said in an interview in Colombo.

We are going with youngsters at the moment with little or no experience.&nbsp;We had a lot of faith in them and we are very happy the way they played ... I think with the&nbsp;experience they will learn, but they have to start somewhere and they started in Sri Lanka.&quot;&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;They won (the first two Australia Tests) and won convincingly and that&#39;s important. So the future for Sri Lankan cricket is bright.&quot;&nbsp;Jayasuriya concluded.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>Saurabh Sharma<\/p>\r\n",
